Just think how Your life would be If it weren't for our Country's history All of the struggles That we've surpassed And the American Pride that lasts The many freedoms That we share Thanks to those Who said "I dare" Who took the Challenge, and won Just like president Abraham Lincoln An underdog, He started out young Not many supporters Yet he got the job done Took on a burden With tension rising North against South No more compromising An ultimatum, Comply, or war "A quick victory" Each had swore Four years of fighting And all slaves were free Think how that made Life for you and me Can't understand The pain they endured But now their life And liberty was ensured Thanks to Lincoln Our country could now be America, The land of the free Chelsea Czapla 12-18-2008 6:52pm **School project**

and over come death with true life.

Hmmm I like the way you write and express your feelings in such an accomplishing and optimistic way. You did very good on the vocabulary and the rhyming too.Well done.
